First decent catch of moths for September.

First nights trapping this season for me with Large yellow underwing present in numbers (c.60 seen). Also good number of Square-spot rustic. Only moth I had that I would call a bit unseasonal was Lesser swallow prominent (4 trapped). Other moths of possible interest caught included: Crambus hamella, Adoxophyes orana, Small square spot (surprisingly the first site record since 2009!), Heath rustic, Lunar yellow underwing (2), Feathered gothic (10, a good number) and the first of the autumnal species Brindled green (2).
